Field skills

I've worked in environments from jungles to deserts and polar regions to the open ocean, and what's more I've often thrived in those conditions. People often comment on my adaptability, but I put it down to my instinctive attraction to natural spaces, and interest in those who have excelled there. I have an intense interest in geography, weather, navigation, and outdoor spaces and that translates well to being comfortable and effective in the field. I also have some military training, after spending 5 years in the RAF Reserve.

Here's a list of useful training courses and certificates I've done over the years.
